I heard Lippy pulled out the shotguns, and was gesturing that Cobby were choking after kicking goals in the last quarter.
IF true, a tad premature???

HOWARD DUTHIE MEDAL INDEPENDENTS

THE much anticipated 2009 Howard Duthie Medal count for the season’s best Independent footballer at the Cobdogla Club on Monday night is set to be a close affair with a mix of talented players from all sides contributing evenly throughout the regular season.

Wunkar’s on baller Daniel Evans is the front runner, after a stellar season which included four best on ground and seven second best on ground efforts.

However, his efforts could be overshadowed by Wunkar’s strong team performances throughout the year, as well as a solid season from team mate and goal sneak Sean Gray.

If Evans did win, he would be the first person to have won the Independent medal, as well as the RFL’s highest honour, the Whillas Medal.

We expect Paringa’s Chris Gardner to poll well early on in the count and he could be in the mix after appearing in his team’s best players 12 out of 14 games.

Ramco on-baller Jason Marr is an outside favourite after performing consistently in crunch games for the Roosters and we think he will finish in the top three best in the competition.

Experts rate Cobdogla’s Damian Crowe, Zac Walker and Rob Smyth as good chances to poll well but solid team performances throughout the season all but write these three off.

On the other hand, we would love to see a defender win the medal and Smyth has been the best backman in the competition this year.

Moorook-Kingston strongman Darran van der Woude should grab votes late in the season and will be the Warriors’ best, along with Roger Taylor.

Brown’s Well veteran ball magnet Russ Charles, who recently announced his retirement, will be his club’s leader in the votes but may not be up with the top vote getters due to his team’s struggling season.

Pacy Lryup midfielder Roy Grenfell should poll consistently after securing five best on ground performances for his team during the season.

East Murray had an improving season led by Dan Fuss and David Andriske and both should gain a vote or two.

There are a number of other players who performed well during the year such as Nigel Hole, Shane Schulz and Shaun Zimmerman, who should finish mid range in the count.

However, our tip to take out the Howard Duthie Medal is the skilful Paringa captain Andrew Lloyd, who appeared in the Swans’ top four best players 12 times, including five best a field performances.

His fair approach to the contest, business like play and determination has seen him under the umpires’ noses quite a bit this season.

As much as I hate to say it, I can't see Lloydy winning .
Too many taking votes off him.
Plus he didn't have the best start to the year.

I'm gonna go a smokey and say Schulzy.

Evans ain't little!

[cod master]

I will take Evans , Marr and Walker
Thats my top three if anybody is interested

[BIG SEXY]

Evans will NOT win the medal

losing your memory CM?!

[OXnFOX]

Im with CN, Schultz for number 5!

But there lies Wunkars problem, with Evans and Gray taking votes will any of them reach top 3?

[OXnFOX]

Oh and Roger Taylor a BIG smokey. (and not a bad drummer either!)

[OXnFOX]

Where's your footy trip this year BS and are you taking any mayonaise?

[Bum Crack]

where is the footy this weekend (Indy and RFL)?

[cod master]

Evans will NOT win the medal

losing your memory CM?!

Change of mind after watching them both over the weekend BS
Both outstanding players and me thinks they may go head to head to win the medal

[OXnFOX]

2nd Semi @ Lox Nth on Sat
1st Semi @ Renmark on Sun

Indy Prelim @ Lyrup

[Baron Greenback]

Im with CN, Schultz for number 5!

Gray won't poll anywhere near as many as Evans and Schulz.

[FULLY LOADED MAN]

Odds would be

Berri $3.50 Waikerie $1.10

Barmera-Monash $1.05 Loxton North $5

Loxton $1.80 Renmark $1.95

your probably right, can only see north and berri having one win between them for the rest of the season. will be a big night next saturday at one of those clubs

I think you'll be incorrect by a long way there Fully Loaded Man. You might even be wrong by tomorrow night.

looking back didn't think i would be so right...

talking to a few berri lads on sunday and it looks like they will lose storic, pearson, franks and brooks next year. with not much in their b's and thirds could be another long season next year unless they appoint a coach who can attract a few decent players to replace these guys who are probably their top 4 players.

[Baron Greenback]

He's BACK!

[Bum Crack]

He's BACK!

and full of absolute shite too.
